Saving Money!

As most of you know, just a few short years ago my little one was born. One of the biggest things my wife and I had talked about was, should she be breast feed or should we use baby formula? The choice for my wife and I was an easy one, breast feeding was the best way to go. Not only is breast feeding the best for the baby, the money savings are huge. We know how much baby formula cost, it’s not cheap at all. For me I could never really figure out why the brand name formulas cost so much more. The U.S government, FDA regulates what goes into baby formula. So basically what I’m saying here is, there’s no difference between brand name formula and store brand formula, it’s the same stuff. So why can one charge more than the other, don’t get it.

Staying Strong!

With the economy in one of the worst shapes it’s ever been in since the great depression, people are scared and have no clear idea what to do with their money. The U.S markets as well as the world markets are showing signs that things are still improving slowly. But you know what, the bottom could fall out in one day, that’s how bad things still are. Me personally I review the U.S markets every hour on the hour, I drive my wife crazy reporting to her. I do this because it’s not about long term investing for me lately, it’s short term. I only care what our investments ending at for the day. I think this way because we took a really hard hit last year, and that’s not going to happen this year. Once I see a sign of bad news or a report that comes that’s not going to be good I get ready to sell. I wouldn’t recommend this to any one, because it takes a lot of watching and reading, but we need to get our money back, which we are.
